Geta

Geta (7 March 189-19 December 211) was Emperor of the Roman Empire from 209 to 211, succeeding Septimius Severus and preceding Caracalla.

Biography
Publius Septimius Geta was the son of Septimius Severus and the brother of Caracalla, and he frequently argued with his brother, forcing Septimius to make Geta Augustus in 211 as his co-emperor. In 211, their father died in Eburacum (York, England) of an illness, and Geta and his brother became rivals. Caracalla tried to assassinate him at a festival but failed, but on 19 December 211 Caracalla was murdered in his mother Julia Domna's arms in his mother's apartments by centurions sent by Caracalla. Caracalla had around 20,000 men and women proscribed as enemies of the state or killed at the same time.
